Re: McEvoy\'s Cardplayer quiz #5

I don't mind the limp PF. I think the crime in this hand is not betting the flop hard. Get those summertime hands outa there. I'd like to get this pot heads up w/ TPTK or such. This way I have 15...

How often do you make moves in MTT?

I am always looking for good spots to steal blinds or unwanted pots, but I think I overdo it. How often can you steal w/o ruining your table image? At some point I got it into my head that I should...

Re: What\'s your move here?

You fold on the flop, what's the problem?

Against a large field TP crap kicker with an all /images/graemlins/diamond.gif board is worthless. Giving them all random hands you are not a favorite....

Re: Could I of played this better? I was trying to farm a set...

Depending on your reads, I think you should have called the raise. Raiser is very short and can be in there w/ a wide range. The caller has you covered, so he provides you with implied odds. If...

Re: I\'m confused about this one...

If I follow this article correctly: I should push as SB anytime it's folded to me if I think the BB is tight(will only call w/ top 25% of hands).

I certainly don't do this now, and I am skepticle...

Re: KK and an A flops and half of stack in the pot?

I don't like the re-raise to 1100. I think you should have pushed PF. If he calls all-in w/ AK great for you.

The balls part is easy. It's knowing the right time to pull the trigger that's difficult.

Re: Are the impied odds here?

Thanks for the imput. When UTG just called the raise I felt I made a mistake. When another 3 fell on the flop I was sure of it. When all three other players went all-in w/ pocket pairs (99,JJ, and...

Are the impied odds here?

It's the begining of a large MTT. Blinds 10/20. I have 1800 in the BB. UTG min raises. MP re-raises to 120. Button cold-calls. I have 33, is this s a good place to look for a set?

It costs me...

Re: Chipleader w/overcard flushdraw and recently wild image

I like the push, but I have a high tolorance for varience. Your getting the odds to make pushing correct, and there's decent chance that you can get players to laydown top-pair mid kicker or worse....

Re: hand vs pro $1000 WSOP NL

I didn't give the flush draw enough weight, your probably ahead more than I figured, but you will get drawn out on more. I still like a push for the added FE, but the swings will be wild. If you...

Re: hand vs pro $1000 WSOP NL

Insta-push.

I'd say roughly 1/3 of the time your 4's are best, and half of the time your behind you make a straight to win. Add in some FE, and this is an easy push.

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 1 Hand: Call or Fold?

This highlights one of the things I find fascinating about poker. Because of the PF chips in the pot you are each getting odds to go to the felt here. You played the hand aggressivily, but...

Re: Stealing against Phil Hellmuth in WSOP

You could push.

He'd know you were stealing it, but I don't think he'd call. He'd have to risk his entire life on the hand. against anyone else, this idea sucks, but PH likes to laydown hands.

Re: 15 to the money in the WSOP ME. What do you do here?

I think it's agreed upon that you either fold UTG, or go to the felt here. The question is, if you folded here could you blind your way into the money? How long after you busted did they bust the...

Re: Burningyen\'s bustout hand (how would you play it?)

My three options in order of preference are:

1 - If a bet is likely to get raised, I'm betting so I can re-raise all-in. Lead w/ a half pot sized bet.

2 - If I doubt they'll raise, but will...

Re: Too aggressive on first hand?

Since many players call too much, especially early in tournanments, stealing is a poor play in the first few levels. That makes sense, I appreciate the help.

I don't like limping PF. If you raised and he reraised, you have a better idea that you were behind. After you limped and he raised, a re-raise would have narrowed his holdings down. If you are...
